If we're talking about Japanese kamikazes during WWII (I'm unaware of any other kamikaze pilots), then... Hm, let me put it this way. Here's an image of a WWII-era Japanese flying helmet.

As you can see, it's leather, so should a bullet from an enemy fighter happen to find its way into the cockpit, that wouldn't offer much protection. Japanese pilots, as far as I know, did not wear oxygen masks they could hook to the helmet (which I totally do not understand), and I don't think Japanese aircraft featured cabin pressurization either. The only answers I can think of is that they wore it as tradition, or in case they did manage to complete their mission and not have to go kamikaze.

FYI: German's also had kamikaze pilots that they used in the later part of the war. The biggest differance between the two were the German's did it agaisnt American bombers, cutting across a line of bombers to take out one or two and still keeping the plan intact enough to eject.....gotta love discovery channel.

Wow, I didn't know that.

yeah that would explain it

Why is it that every time you hear of someone getting abducted by aleins one of the first things you hear about is them getting an anal prob?!

I was watching a show last night talking about someone getting abducted, I started laughing.
Wife asked, "what's so funny?"
"Watch this" I said, "I'll bet he says he had an anal prob."
Sure enough he says the aleins turned him over and stuck something up his woowoo.

Come on. I know we have that saying, "Do you have your head stuck up your ***" But do people really think that's what aleins are really looking for?!

What color was dirt BEFORE it got "dirty?"

Why do we spell cat with a C but we spell kitten with a K? Why not the same letter sense they sound the same?


I drove by Budget Autosales yesterday and they had a sign that said, "We have USED and Preowned cars." What is the differance between Used and PreOwned?

It was owned but never driven?

I wonder if any of those cars are the ones you can test drive? I'm not too sure about this, just a guess. I've never bought a car, so I'm not sure if they have one of the cars designated to test drive.

Dr. Pepper ad "23 authentic flavors".....one question...why/how?

23 flavors...how many do you taste? 2? 3 tops? If they took one or two out would you notice? When I think of flavors I'm thinking of ginsing, vanilla, cherry, bubblegum or something like that. What is are you tasting with a soft drink, "Wow, they added dextrose sodium glungonate! GREAT choice. Wait, is that a hint yellow dye #4 I'm tasting...IT IS hot dog, that's alot better then red dye #4 a little bit more bitter." Come on, 23 authentic flavors? All soft drinks are basically the same, that an't nothing authentic about it.

I live in Florida so right now we have alot of rain. At work someone said he was working on his house getting ready for the storm when it started raining and he said, "when I got done I had to get a shower cause of how dirty I was." Here is my question...


If you are working in the rain how can you get dirty? Won't the rain just wash it off?

Maybe under his shirt?

Ever wonder why they say English is one of the hardest langues to learn? Think about it...

I say Tomatoe
You say tamtoe

I say potato
You say patatoe

If we can't deside how a word is suppose to sound then how is someone form another country expected to learn?

Why do they call it a garage sale? You're not selling your garage. Same with yard sale.
Although renting garages might be a profitable business...

This is painfully to admit...I drive around in a gay car?! My wife came home one day from the tag office, I was working, with my new license plate with the last 3 digits of 6ay. As soon as I came home from work I said, "oh, now I have a gay car." That 6 looks a WHOLE lot like a G. I say all of that to ask this....


Since I have a gay license plate with a gay car does that mean I can't drive my car to church sinse the bibles says no?



On a side note....I have had this plate for about a year now it does seem to have some perks. Example: no one ever tailgates me, as soon as they can read my plate they back off! No one ever parks behind me either at the grocery store.
